A local family continues to look for closure in the case of a young woman whose naked body was dumped in a garbage tote. Authorities believe she died of a drug overdose, so how did her body end up where it did?

The family of Amanda Wienckowski says the autopsy report they were given by authorities was incomplete. They want answers so they plan to exhume Amanda's body, and have it flown to California to undergo a second autopsy by a team of forensic experts.

"My daughter was murdered. And whoever killed my daughter is still out there and nothing has been done," said Leslie Brill, Amanda's mother.

The death certificate for Amanda, which was issued by the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office, lists her death as an "accident" due to "acute opiate intoxication."

Amanda had been missing for a month when her body was found on church property on Buffalo's east side in a garbage tote naked and frozen solid, back on January 8, 2009.

"Somebody killed my daughter and threw her out like she was garbage and I have no answers, no answers," said Brill.

The Buffalo Police Department is handling this investigation. Tonight, police spokesman Mike DeGeorge re-affirmed that this case remains open and active and in the hands of homicide detectives.

But Amanda's supporters are frustrated with the lack of progress and they are now launching their own investigation, which starts with a second autopsy. "We are going to exhume her body, send it out to a very famous company to have them re-autopsy this body," said WBEN Radio Host Kathy Weppner, who is helping coordinate this effort.

Volunteers plan to fan out into area neighborhoods next weekend to raise enough money to fly Amanda's body to California for forensic testing.

"I told Leslie that I am going to purchase my own ticket, I am going get on the plane with Amanda and Amanda's body will have all of the answers," said Brill.

Brill believes the answers in this case can be unearthed when they exhume her daughter. "We don't know what happened to her and I want to know, and I want the people brought to justice," said Brill.

The family hopes to raise at least $7,000 next in their Justice for Amanda campaign next week. Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office tells Eyewitness News that they have no comment about this case.
